Intro
Since the last time I reviewed Adventures of Superman, it’s
been a bit of a bumpy road. The main reason why the series runs into that
problem is because there are different writers for each out of continuity
stories and the max of parts is three. So, depending on the writers it can
range from good to really, really bad. So, it can be difficult to follow this
series. At first I really loved the series because it had good stories after
another and they were so much better than the New 52 stories. It’s like they
had a better idea of who Superman is and it’s been a while since we saw
that. But now, it’s right down the
middle because one week the story is good then, the next week the story is bad.
So, you have to really pick your battles on what stories you will really like.
The stories I would recommend is Exposed
which is about a reporter who’s trying to figure out a connection between the
Daily Planet and Superman and The Sound
of One Clapping Hand which tells Superman’s first meeting with The Joker.
They are pretty good reads for anyone to enjoy. But for today’s review this
issue is an okay one part story that really doesn’t hold much to pick up. It’s
just a story that “tries” to have fun.
Story
Superman/Clark Kent has to babysit two babies while their
moms go out for the night. But the Atomic Skull has caused destruction in the
city. How can Superman babysit and save the city at the same time?
The Good
This issue was okay for me. It’s a simple story with a
pretty bad idea. The only good things were the translations for the baby talk
and the babies were pretty funny even though they were jerks. The art I felt
was pretty average too. It was nothing spectacular, but it wasn’t terrible
either.
The Bad
I can’t see why Superman would decide to babysit. I mean
seriously, him being a superhero has no time for that. So, I can’t see why he
would agree to it. Also, if Clark Kent didn’t care about them seeing him as
Superman then why would he leave them out of his sight? Putting them through
danger like letting them go to the roof or carry them along as he fights a
super-villain looks like he can care less about their consequences of getting
them killed. I also would keep the kids distracted with some pretty awesome
powers instead of letting them run around the house or lock them up somewhere
they can be safe.
Verdict
I give this issue a 2/5 out of 5/10 stars. Superman
babysitting? Yeah, the story isn’t much of a good idea especially if he’s
putting the kids in danger. It’s too much of a risk for him and I don’t think
Batman would agree with this. (Laughs) The art is also average, nothing really
worth looking at. So, it’s really up to you to pick this issue up. It’s an
issue I wouldn’t recommend for a fun read.
